In 1992, Herve J. Fabre became the first winemaker to produce a premium single varietal Malbec in Argentina. After identifying a number of different vineyard sites in the Valle de Uco which offered perfect conditions for Malbec and other varieties, Hervé & Diane launched Viñalba in 2007 producing wines which are the most faithful expression of these terroirs. Their Bordeaux background dictates an elegance and subtlety to their wines. It is their partnership which brings Viñalba to life.
Patagonia lies on both the Chilean and Argentine sides of the Andes mountains. The region has gained recognition for its wines from the Río Negro and Neuquen areas on the Argentine side.
